17. Revelation Brand New

I saw a sign on a church that said, “Read your Bible, it will scare the hell out of you.” – Such they have made the riches and the beauty of God’s Word! When I read the Jesus Secret Version out loud, it flows so beautifully to me, so filled with glory and joy, power and goodness. What did they do to our Bibles?

I have completed my present intentions for the Flow of Gospel Word and am working on the several printed books that come out from this wondrous task. Part of this task is my reading of the chapters of the JSV into audio as my final edit of the Jesus Secret Version text. I am placing these audios on the website with each completed chapter.

The first time I worked with translating 1 Peter and Revelation, both times I was very depressed afterwards. I could not comprehend the seeming darkness of God’s Word. As I read aloud the final version of those two books in particular, I was awestruck at the difference. Both were rich and vibrant, filled with beauty and power, and with no shadow upon them.

That change in hearing comes in part from the beautiful flow of the JSV, what Peter and John actually wrote. But the larger part of the transformation comes from our two large studies in the Zoom meetings of the Gospel writings, Writing the Jesus Secret, from November of 2021 to June of 2025, and The Flow of Gospel Word, from July of 2025 to May of 2026.

Revelation and 1 Peter are brand new, along with all the other Gospel books I have been working on, to know what God actually says, indeed, the entire Bible. I now see only the Gospel, the shadow is no longer remembered.

Yet it is not study or translation that makes the difference, but eating of the Tree of Life, a personal and intimate fellowship with Jesus inside, in all Gospel Word and by the Spirit.

I want to share a recent response from a reader concerning this Flow of Gospel Word through Revelation. ~ “I just listened to  Lesson 59. Overcoming as Jesus. So powerful and amazing what is in these few chapters.  Jesus is so much alive in my thoughts, so wonderful. It's all flowing together beautifully.” ~ “I'm just reading all the flow of gospel word latest messages. Then also reading and listening to Revelation… so much happening here.” [Present difficulties and peace.] “Turning all this into good for the sake of His Body the church. Father does all things well. Thinking of you all. Praying for you Daniel with the enormous task of getting these books finished. You are amazing and Gods anointing is surely on all that.” ~

As I edit The Flow of Gospel Word I & II, I am reading all the lessons again in their entirety. I want to share the biggest change in my seeing as I experienced this Flow. The most impactive lessons were the three lessons for Romans 8, the one lesson for Hebrews 10, and the two lessons for Revelation 12. Writing the Flow for these three chapters deepened greatly my knowledge of living turned around inside of God, now carrying His deep concern as my own.

The result in each case was a completely unexpected change that came afterwards. In the case of Paul, it was the Flow of Word through Timothy and Titus. For Hebrews, it was a shift in my understanding of Chapters 11-12, of the actual target, that is, the difference for us between the target itself and hitting that target. For Revelation, it was also a shift in my understanding of the whole book, resulting in a profound change in the remaining two lessons for Revelation, Mount Zion and Jerusalem.

All these impactive chapters resulted in a clearer focus on the Church of Jesus Christ now upon the earth and the Hheart towards her that we share with God. Timothy and Titus made that watch care deeply personal as well as practical. Hebrews 10-12 made it powerful and effective. And the lessons on Mount Zion and Jerusalem made our shared Hheart with God complete.

I will now include the explanations of the Flow of Gospel Word for Revelation and Hebrews. These are from The Open Scroll. For Revelation, I include part of my outline derived from the earlier Writing the Jesus Secret (“The Apocalypse Now” on the website).

It is when we see the Ruling Verses of God under all the thinking of Bible writers, bubbling up to become whatever flow of thoughts happens to be pouring onto the page, that we are then able to read God’s Word as the revelation of the Father. We begin with the introduction to Revelation from The Open Scroll. And afterwards, I want to include some thoughts on reality.

Revelation by the Gospel
The key action and meaning of Revelation is 12:11, “THEY overcame the accuser of their brothers and sisters.” To overcome/to subdue is the action of God and the meaning of being human. It is the driving tension of God’s story.

This victory is not for themselves, but for the entire Church of Christ alive on the earth, for whosoever would run into a True Gospel. It includes the casting down of all lies and falseness from the lives of millions of Christians, such that they live fully inside John 14:20, having put the Lord Jesus upon themselves and having turned around as God’s Mercy Seat, Salvation coming through them into their world.

Revelation begins with the Apocalypse, the cover removed so that Jesus is seen as He is, the many-membered body of Christ, the Church.

Chapter 2-3 sets out the qualities of the Lord Jesus imparted to those who overcome, that is, who set the Salvation of God ever before their eyes, that they might become just like Him. Right from the start, the Spirit is calling the firstfruits, those who would give their all for the Father’s purpose, that He might have a form inside creation in which to dwell and through which He can be known as Christians loving one another.

Chapter 4-5 sets out God’s great dilemma, that no one can read Christ written upon our human hearts of flesh because no one believes that the Lamb is capable of All-Salvation now. The insignia of God is found in the hearts of those who weep over the Church, as Ezekiel saw.

Chapter 6, the removal of the seals that prevent, is the deliverance of the Church. The seals are the seven demons preventing Christ from being known as His Church; the seals are the assault of Christians against God. When the seventh seal is removed, six thousand years of horrific accusation against God goes silent, for it has been proven to be false.

Chapter 7 sets out the calling of the firstfruits and the Church whom they will shepherd. Chapters 8-9 are the overcomers calling God into His Church in the midst of all calamity.

In Chapters 10-11, the Spirit sets forth the completion of God, all things fulfilled, and that ministry that gives their lives so that the Church of Jesus Christ would be enclothed with the purity of Christ.

Chapter 12 is the big picture, what everything is all about. First is the Church, the heavenly Jerusalem, enclothed with the Lord Jesus, bringing forth the knowledge of God into the knowledge of all, and second is a wondrous description of those called out ones who cover her, who protect her from the dragon and the beast, and who provide for her in her hour of greatest need.

Chapters 12-15 give the setting of this great Victory, the beast representing all human government, and the dragon who is determined to eliminate the name of Jesus from human knowing. The sons of God prevail in all, and the whole world knows the emptiness of the claims of the rulers of this world. Jesus’ prayer is fulfilled, the world knows that God sent Jesus when they see believers in Jesus loving one another with pure hearts fervently.

Chapter 16 is the judgment of God come to cleanse fire and earth, air and water. And Chapter 17-18 is the promise of God to us that not one believer in Jesus will remain in the falseness of Nicene Christianity.

Chapters 19-20 shows us the Victory of the Lord Jesus, through us His Body, the Apocalypse, the revelation of Jesus Christ, beginning with the great Love that we bear for our fellow Christians. It includes the final victory over the beast, over the dragon, and over death itself. – “And I saw thrones and THEY sat upon them, and judgment was given to them.”

In Chapter 21-22, we see the arising of Christian Communities all across the earth, the New Jerusalem coming always out from God. Out from her proceeds the Age of Tabernacles, for she is its center. From her proceeds rivers of living water, bringing life and healing to all the ethnic families of the world.

Revelation shows us the Completion of God and the fulfilment of the Gospel.

Note: Because Revelation is a vision or series of visions, we do not assume that it’s purpose is fixed and dogmatic. Rather, the Spirit of God uses these metaphors to reveal Christ and the Gospel to us. The comments I have added cannot be the extent of what any part of the vision “means.” Rather, they are the Truths of the Gospel as expressed through these verses, which can most certainly be expressing far more and far beyond what I presently see.

After completing the Flow of Gospel Word for Revelation, including writing all the comments, I now see this entire book as arising out from the Gospel ONLY. These are the simple Truths of the Gospel as seen in the heavens in power, Jesus written inside our hearts. The following “Flow of Gospel Word” now takes us into the heart of what is most important.

The Flow of Gospel Word for Revelation:
To perceive the Flow of Gospel Word through John’s vision, we must set the Ruling Verse of Revelation, 12:10-11, always as the determiner of meaning. 12:10 shows us the overall, that we are looking at the completion of every Bible Word, the Kingdom now come. Then, 12:11 shows us the heart, that of a ministry of people who together LOVE the Church and give their lives to the Father for her sake.

We then see the parts of John’s vision as a series of concentric visions, each one looking at this ministry towards the Church in one way or another. Two things mark this relationship. On the one hand, this ministry “overcomes” inside of God for her sake, and on the other hand, this ministry calls individual believers out of the false and into a Church clothed with Jesus.

Everything in Revelation is about this ministry, their preparation, their qualities, and their actions towards God and towards His people. Consider the impartation of Jesus to us in Revelation 2-3. We keep our eyes upon Jesus as He is inside of us and thus we become like Him. But how? You see, Jesus in us must swallow up all that opposes Him, and thus the in-between in the letters to the seven Churches is the removal of the two things that falsify Christ Jesus - arrogance and contempt, the desire for “heavenly” superiority and looking down on other Christians.

We become like Jesus when we see Him in one another’s faces (see 2 Corinthians 3:18), and thus the True ministry of Christ is easy to identify. They are those who LOVE the Church above all, locally and universally, and who see Jesus alone in all who call upon His name. They are those who lose all for her sake, who give all, who believe all, who persevere until God makes Jerusalem, His people, to be a glory and a praise in all the earth.

They are those who go beneath with Father for the sake of others.

When you see this ministry throughout John’s vision, however they might be called, and you see their action inside of God for the sake of all who belong to Jesus in all heaven-earth, then you perceive by the Spirit that Revelation does NOT belong to intellectuals who do not know God,  and that the “interpretation” placed upon John’s vision throughout the Church Age is utterly wicked.

The Flow of Gospel Word through Revelation teaches us to humble ourselves inside of God for the sake of our fellow Christians. When we do that, then the passion of Jesus towards His Church, towards a woman clothed with the sun, consumes us. And our Love for her does not stop until she is free, until she is fully clothed with the Lord Jesus Christ.

And thus Revelation becomes a manual for us to know how our FAITH in God-through-us swallows up death and all that opposes God.

I am convinced that John spent a few years in close fellowship with the writer of Hebrews and that the Spirit of God places the Gospel through Hebrews alongside of the Gospel through Revelation. I would suggest that you study the Gospel Comments together through the two books.

You can see that I am treating with the layout of the Flow of Gospel Word in Revelation differently from all previous layouts. The reason is important for you, dear Bible student. Few things have done more to destroy the Gospel in the minds of Christians for the last nineteen hundred years than the death interpretation placed upon Revelation by carnal minds who imagine a God who knows evil and “the wrath of the Lamb.”

Yet that is how you have known this book. Even those who purport to give a “true” interpretation so often express the fake duo of heavenly superiority and contempt for “all those false Christians out there.”

As you study the Gospel Comments with the JSV translation of the Apocalypse of Jesus Christ, there is a war going on in your mind. In essence, it is a war between “Did God indeed say,” and “Let there be light.” The first is every argument of the old interpretation, and the second is best known as two things. Those two things are “Let it be to me according to Your Word” and humbling yourself with God for the sake of others.

Allow the Lamb who was slain but is now alive inside of you for the sake of His Church to WIN that war in your mind. Allow His Song to become the singing of your own heart.

Fall in Love with the Church, and give yourself to God for her sake.

(Hebrews)
Note: Only after completing the Flow of Gospel Word, writing the comments for Hebrews, have I finally begun to understand what Hebrews is about and how its organizational pattern actually works. The best way to describe the patterns of thought in Hebrews is as an arrow shot by a bow straight to its target, hitting that target to completion.

Hebrews 1:1-3 is the bow, containing everything to come in great power. Then, the arrow shoots absolutely straight, yet ever-enlarging, increasing the scope of the meaning. It is the ruling verses through which the arrow passes, keeping us focused on the target, here inside of God.

The writer of Hebrews kept in mind every critical thought through every phrase written. Lesser minds chop up the words into grotesque misunderstanding. With humility of heart, we wait upon God to show us the whole, for it is not possible to know the parts of Hebrews without understanding the whole in full, even as it is not possible to know the whole without understanding the parts in full. In short, the Spirit of God must make Jesus real inside our hearts.


The Flow of Gospel Word for Hebrews:
We consider the picture of the ever-enlarging straight-arrow shot in order to grasp the Flow of Gospel Word through Hebrews.

The power of the bow is Jesus bringing forth, carrying, and sustaining all by His power-filled Word, having by Himself cleansed away all sin already, having reconciled all to God, and who is the image of God, the One who shows us what the revelation of the Father is all about. God has given us the entirety of the Old Testament to know the outline of this Jesus, but it is He alone upon whom we fix our eyes.

The remainder of the letter is an ever-widening expansion of these profound truths, but the core of the arrow at its center is - Keep your eyes upon Jesus, know Him and what He does inside of you. To understand the in-between, however, we must also have the target fully in view. That target is Jerusalem, the city of God, the Church, our dwelling place and God’s forever. Yet Jerusalem is not the overall topic. Rather, the overall flow is the hitting of the target, God offering us as His sons for her sake.

Everything now in Hebrews is an expansion out from the first three verses towards being offered as sons for the sake of Jerusalem. This straight-arrow shot is kept focused by Ruling Verse 7, confidence out from God, the Covenant at its heart, that is, how Jesus has already joined us with God our Father, and then Ruling Verse 6, our boldness inside of God, apprehending all that is God given to us that we might be about our Father’s business, having already been cleansed from all consciousness of sins.

In the ever-widening scope of this arrow shot, the writer of Hebrews expands on the authority of Jesus now in us, what it means and from whence it comes, the faith of the Son of God, now our own possession, the power of the Word that transforms us, the meaning of High Priest, that is, how Jesus connects us with God, including being the very hitting of the target for us, as He shares Himself with us, and most of all, the meaning and efficacy of the Blood, having cleansed all.

Hebrews also grounds everything in the Scriptures, showing how the Old is an outline of the New Covenant on the one hand, but that it fails to produce anything for God on the other hand, that the New is better, for it alone accomplishes God’s purpose in our lives.

Once we arrive at hitting the target in Hebrews 12, we keep our eyes absolutely fixed on Jesus who, for the Joy of Jerusalem, the Church, set before Him, He endured being offered as a Son for her sake. We follow Jesus as He shares all that He is with us, even through all affliction, for our God is a consuming Fire flowing through us as Love for one another.

In his little bit at the end, Chapter 13, Paul restates in his own way of writing that central core of hitting the target for the sake of the Church, that we share with Jesus the same in us today.

Reality is God – God Here, God Now, God All.

And God is Personal, which means that His purpose coming out from His Desire, means everything. Another word for Purpose out from Desire is “Heart.”

The most extraordinary thing about this God who is All, is that He is God-with-us, a God who shares all of Himself with us, personally and together, a God who wants above all things that we might KNOW Him.

So much of the Bible, and especially Hebrews and Revelation, is the invitation, the CALL, to those who would share Hheart with God, those who would set forth their souls alongside a faithful Creator in His own well-doing, those who would Love the Church.

I stake my life, all that I am, on the certainty that God is fulfilling this very Church right now upon the earth, that there actually are millions of Christians about to run into loving one another in committed life together, the Apocalypse of Jesus Christ. And that this Unveiling is the only REAL appearance of God as He is, and of the Gospel.
